Spock's Beard - The Water: III: A Thief in the Night Lyrics

I was a general
Of darkness and light
I was to be the major man
It was some kind of sight

I was going to stand alone
And do what was right
Now I'm just another stepping stone
A thief in the night

So where were all of those
Angels and priests
Who said they'd carry me
Beyond my beliefs

Where are all of them now
They're gone from my sight
My mother and father deserted me
Like thieves in the night

Yes, where are all of them now
They're gone from my side
My mother and father deserted me
Like thieves in the night

I was the water
I was the ocean king
I ruled the red sky
I could do anything
'Til you, you
You messed me up
You, you
You all messed me up
